Step 4: Add a small amount of the lye water to the crock pot and stir. Add small amounts of

the solution.
Step 5: Using a stick blender, blend the mixture to trace. You are looking for a pudding like
consistency.

You will need to stir the mixture periodically.

Once your soap is ready place it in the mold.

the decorative fabric to cut a round shape that will fit the top of the jar. Using the twine, tie
a bow to hold the fabric in place.

cup of the concentrated laundry soap.
